It is his poignant and probably autobiographical testament that Tchaikovsky delivers in his final symphony, the Pathétique, created a few days before his enigmatic death. Mikko Franck and the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra are joined by soprano Asmik Grigorian in Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs, in which the last fires of romanticism light up a world that is no longer. The concert opens with a premiere by Benjamin Attahir – his Stabat Mater, featuring the Radio France Children's Chorus.

Concert given in the Auditorium, Radio France Broadcasting House, Paris, on 15/09/2023.
